Question
What causes newborns to have loose stools and a greenish color?
Answer
Pediatric diarrhea is a disease caused by various pathogens and causes. Most patients are babies under 2 years old, with a particularly high incidence among infants aged 6 to 11 months. The peak of diarrhea occurs mainly from June to September and from October to January of the following year. Diarrhea in summer is usually caused by bacterial infections, often resulting in mucous stools with a foul smell; diarrhea in autumn is often caused by rotavirus, characterized by watery or loose stools without an unpleasant odor.
